Anyone on TT using these? I've watched the videos and they make some sense.

Back in '05 or '06 (don't have the info in front of me) I had the full monty done by Traxxion in their facility on my '01 Wing. It wasn't cheap but it was worth it. When I had the bike triked a few months ago, I had the front suspension serviced. My installer called Traxxion who was of tremendous help. When I picked up the trike I went for a 50 mile spin in 37 degree temps. It handled so superior to the 2 trikes I had demo'ed. I was absolutely amazed! I wouldn't have a Wing without a Traxxion suspension. Hope my experience helps. BTW I have the Roadsmith HTS1800 kit.
Most helpful, thanks.
WHAT TUMBLEWEED SEZ!
Are your present springs OEM? How many miles on them?
As for me, I tested several different front suspensions when I triked. Not all one one bike but, rode several trikes.
I always found the front forks to "stiff" with after market springs. Would have really liked to have tried the mono-tubes but, it seems, there are no plans to produce them for a trike application!!!!
I just recently replaced my springs w/a new set of OEM's and all is well for me again.
All of them will wear out!
Also a lot cheaper to replace the OEM's, every 30K or so, than the cost of some of the after market springs!

I'm only getting the spring upgrade, did you find it raised the trike any, like making the seat higher?
Hmmm, yes, odd. If the seat stays the seat stays the same, I'll be good to go.
In my mind - if the bottom of the engine was higher off the ground then the top of the seat will also be higher but not quite as much. I step on the Wing Guards while mounting/dismounting the trike so that would not matter. For someone that mounts directly from ground level that could very well be an issue.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
Traxxion says there will be a slight increase in the front, and 'some' at the seat, but not as much as in the front fork area.
Yes, I understand standing on the board, or peg and throwing the leg over, but i Have a back rest and that's prohibitive for me. I may have to remove the back rest, no biggie, I can ride OK without one.
